Laksa Goreng & Buttermilk Chicken Wings

Yesterday night I was still on my hardworking cook streak and so I fried laksa mum's style to be eaten with marinated chicken wings this morning. I always prepare sahur the night before because I know I can't bear to wake up at 4 to cook in a rush. Haha.

My mum's laksa goreng is something like bee hoon goreng taucho, and I love it a lot. Got the recipe from her and this is the second time I'm making them. The first time I didn't have taucho and it was a little too salty.

This time round although I have taucho I still didn't have vegetables haha. Oh wells. A better try than the first, but still not perfect yet!

Laksa Goreng Taucho

420g laksa noodles (because the packet is in 420g haha), washed
1 onion, sliced
4 tbsp chili paste
2-3 tbsp taucho, try not to take the water, just the beans
1 sq cm belacan
1 tbsp sugar
3 tbsp udang kering, soaked for a while
Prawns. scrambled eggs (3) and sliced fishballs
  1. Tumbuk the taucho, belacan and udang kering using pestle & mortar until it becomes a paste.
  2. Fry the sliced onions in oil until fragrant and soft.
  3. Add in chili paste and fry till cooked.
  4. Add in the taucho belacan and udang kering paste and fry. If it gets too dry, add a bit of water.
  5. Once mixed, fry in the prawns and fishballs first until cooked, then the eggs. If there's vege add vege here as well.
  6. Add in the noodles and fry till well mixed. 
I didn't add in any salt because the taucho was already salty, and for this amount I feel like the saltiness is just fine.


All cooked and waiting to be cooled before keeping in the fridge!

I marinated chicken wings over the weekend using buttermilk and Husband said they're tasty! Yay! Didn't snap pictures of it and my marinade was more of agaration, but roughly here's what I used:

Buttermilk Fried Chicken Wings

1 kg chicken wings
1 cup buttermilk
1 heapful tbsp each chili powder, cumin powder, cardamom powder (can't remember how much I used)
1 tsp salt
  1. Mix them all in a ziploc bag overnight.
  2. Before frying, dip the wings in flour.
  3. Yumyum! :)

Husband said I didn't have to cook but I feel I should prepare proper meals. Good practice for me too! And it's not every night I cook up a storm. Tonight I shall not cook, because there's still laksa goreng for me and marinated chicken wings that Husband can eat with rice. So far I'm getting the hang of it :)

I made another batch of banana almond dates smoothie because I think I need 2 servings a day, 1 at night and 1 in the morning. I tend to get shivers after I eat, and shivers aren't a good thing so I'll up my protein and complex sugar intake too.

CNY Bakes

Back from the long weekend! Spent two days fully at home, cooking and baking. So happy. Day 1 was sindhi briyani and Almond London . Day 2 was ayam lemak cili padi and a batch of almost Famous Amos chocolate chip cookies , but I split the batter into 2: hazelnut, white chocolate, cranberry combination and hazelnut, dark chocolate chip combination. I made the cranberry ones first, they taste awesome. But after I ate the chocolate chip one, say bye bye to cranberry! Nothing beats chocolate. And the white chocolate chips somehow dissolved into the batter, melted. What to do, it's just white chips from Redman. I should try a better brand instead.  Happy new year indeed!

White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars

 I love these! It's like a blondie but to make me feel less guilty, there's oatmeal. Was supposed to make these and freeze for easy morning breakfasts, but seems like they ran out pretty quickly that it didn't require that much freezing. Original recipe here . I made these almost three months ago and I still think about making these again and again. White Chocolate Cranberry Oatmeal Bars 2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats 2 cups flour 1 1/2 cups brown sugar 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon vanilla 2 large eggs 1 1/4 cups butter melted 1 cups white chocolate chips 1 cup dried cranberries This is like one bowl mix so anything goes. Spread batter in two 8x8 square tins, bake for 22 min at 180 degrees Celsius.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho
